Description[]

The Forest Giants, or Ents, are the inhabitants of Forest Heart. A race of tree-like giants who hold high reverence to nature.

In the ancient past, the Forest Giants original home forest was razed by the Trow who were using the ancient trees as fuel to feed their great forges. Since cutting down a living tree was akin to murder to an Ent, they warned the Trow to stop but were ignored. The Forest Giants fought against the Trow but were unable to stop the Trow and their iron weapons from destroying their homeland. The Dire Marsh is what remained of their home.

In the end, the Forest Giants traveled far south, away from the Trow and eventually reached Forest Heart. To the present day, the Forest Giants have never forgiven the Trow for how they 'poisoned the soul of iron'.

The Forest Giants aided the Legion during the Great War, lending their great strength to combat the Dark and provide a defense against the Trow who had joined Balor. However, they withdrew their support for thirteen years for reasons unknown, causing the downfall of the Province. During the final year of the war, the Avatara, Murgen and Cu Roi, persuade the Forest Giants to help them just as Soulblighter fell upon them. After fending off Soulblighter and his forces, some of the Giants traveled with the Legion to Rhi'anon and proved instrumental in capturing a bridge to Balor's fortress.

"On the last day of the siege at Seven Gates a priest asked the Giants present of their faith. A young one showered the man with chips of stone as he struck the ground, 'The Earth is our Faith.'"

"When asked of the source of their animosity towards the Trow, all were silent. After a time the eldest among them looked down and seemed to weep, 'It was they who poisoned the soul of iron.'"
